Jack takes a tablet out of the bottle and brings it to Winnie, the neurochemist at the university. “What can you tell me about it?” Jack said to Winnie.

Books, for instance, are a common influence on the youth due to their varying content.

Of Mice and Men, was a book that was hard for me to read, it had lots of weird words and lots of weird spelling, but it was a fun book to read.

Curley’s wife is sympathetic and lonely she doesn’t get to talk to anyone besides her husband Curley. Crooks is a crippled but nice man and he says s’pose a lot. Slim is very understanding.
